Calm Your Mind with Hypnosis for Anxiety at Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Wavell Heights)
Hypnosis for Anxiety helps people who experience ongoing worry, nervousness, anxiety, stress, restlessness or sleep problems. Jeremy Walker, Certified Hypnotherapist at Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Wavell Heights), offers Hypnotherapy sessions in Brisbane that are designed to help you shift anxious patterns, reduce stress, and create space for calm thinking.
Jeremy’s tailored Anxiety programs use Hypnosis and positive suggestions to help retrain your subconscious mind and support long-term wellbeing. These treatment options promote on behavioural and emotional support rather than medical or psychological diagnosis.
What Is Hypnosis for Anxiety?
Hypnosis for Anxiety is a process where you enter a relaxed and focused mental state known as a hypnotic state. In this state, your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions that may help you respond to life’s challenges more calmly.
A Hypnotherapy session involves guided relaxation, focused attention and suggestion therapy. It may assist in reducing physical symptoms such as muscle tension, racing heartbeat and difficulty relaxing.
While under Hypnosis, you remain alert and aware. You are in control at all times. The process may help you develop healthier coping strategies, improved focus, and a greater sense of balance in daily life without the side effects you commonly experience through taking medication. Hypnosis is also effective in helping to place you in a state of relaxation and reduce your anxiety over medical procedures or public speaking.
How Hypnosis Supports Anxiety and Stress
Hypnotherapy and the hypnotic suggestions you receive during a session can help to support people who experience anxiety in many forms, including:
Nervous tension and worry that interfere with focus or productivity
Panic-like feelings or fear before social situations or public speaking
Restlessness or physical tension that affects mood and concentration
Overthinking and self-doubt during stressful events
Common symptoms of anxiety, including tremors, shaking, and stuttering
Trouble falling asleep and long-term sleep deprivation
those who have developed smoking habits (see Jeremy Walker’s specialised Hypnotherapy to Quit Smoking, with his Lifetime Guarantee)
Hypnosis works as a useful treatment of anxiety and stress-related disorders, by helping calm the nervous system and re-pattern brain activity and subconscious responses that contribute to anxious feelings. It can complement other forms of support such as Anxiety Counselling or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) by placing you in a deeply relaxed state (while still conscious and aware) so you can work on a deeper, subconscious level.
According to Jeremy Walker, this is the best way to develop coping mechanisms and retain these into the future, along with the stress reduction this brings.
What Happens in a Hypnotherapy Session
Each Hypnotherapy session with Jeremy Walker follows a structured process that supports relaxation and change.
Induction – Jeremy guides you into a calm, relaxed mental state.
Deepening – The Hypnosis process deepens so your subconscious mind becomes more receptive.
Positive Suggestions – Using suggestion therapy, Jeremy introduces supportive ideas to encourage confidence and ease.
Awakening – You return to full awareness feeling calm, clear and centred.
You may also learn simple self-Hypnosis or relaxation techniques to use between sessions as part of your treatment plan (which we call a Wellness Plan at Brisbane Livewell Clinic).
Jeremy offers both in-Clinic and online videoconference appointments, which he finds equally effective for Hypnotherapy.
Is Hypnosis Safe?
Hypnotherapy is considered by health professionals to be safe and non-invasive when provided by a trained Hypnotherapist. Most people find the use of hypnosis as a therapy to be deeply relaxing, even though no one is “put to sleep” or put into a hypnotic trance by their Hypnotherapist.
Mild tiredness or emotional release can occur (some of Jeremy’s patients cry at the end of their sessions) but usually passes quickly.
For safety, patients with complex mental health conditions, diagnosed anxiety disorders, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder or panic attacks should consult their healthcare provider before beginning Hypnosis. It is possible that Clinical Hypnosis (also called Clinical Hypnotherapy), conducted by Nicky Jackson our Clinical Hypnotherapist in Brisbane Southside at Cannon Hill, may be better suited for you. Nicky also focuses on Clinical Hypnotherapy for menopause, perimenopause and irritable bowel syndrome.
Benefits of Hypnotherapy for Anxiety
Hypnosis for Anxiety often assists our patients by:
Supporting calmer breathing and reduced physical tension
Lowering stress levels and helping the body relax
Lessening the symptoms of anxiety
Improving sleep quality and focus
Encouraging emotional control and balance
Re-training the subconscious mind to respond calmly in stressful situations
As Jeremy Walker says, “Clinical trials and my own experiments have shown that Hypnosis for Anxiety is an effective treatment for my patients, many of whom prefer not to have psychological interventions.”
A Hypnosis session can be an effective way to complement other wellness approaches and may support your overall mental health care without replacing medical treatment.
Some of our patients choose Hypnosis for Anxiety rather than undertaking Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a Psychologist.
